Making a Connection
last 2 bytes of the Bluetooth address. To connect to FirePlug, browse for services, you
should see: “SPP on FirePlug-zpdq”. FirePlug uses Bluetooth Serial Port Profile and
can be connected to as a Virtual COM port on PCs, Palms, PocketPCs, MACs, Smart
Phones, Serial Adapters, Access Points, and other clients.
NOTE: Only one client can connect to FirePlug at a time, and there is a limit of 7 total
devices in a Bluetooth Piconet network.
If authentication is not required, generally you can simply connect to the FirePlug by
clicking on the service shown by your client.
passkey of “1234”, or the passkey that has been configured should be entered.
Connection Status
Status can be viewed by the GREEN LED (solid), and also can be shown by reading the
values of the CD and DSR lines on the port. If connected, both CD and DSR lines will
be Active, otherwise they will be inactive. You can also get an indication string sent over
the receive line by using the “SO,<string>” command. For example, if you store the
“%” char using,
“%CONNECT”, and “%DISCONNECT” status strings.
Changing Configuration
FROM LOCAL SERIAL PORT-
Run your favorite terminal emulator, Hyperterminal*** or other program. Open the COM
port corresponding to the FirePlug.

REMOTE VIA BLUETOOTH- Make a connection via Bluetooth, then follow the
directions above for local configuration. To return to data mode, type a final “---“ ( 3
minus signs) <cr>, or reset the device and connect again.
NOTE: remote configuration can only occur if the bootup configuration timer (default 60
seconds) has not expired. This timer is set to 0 ( remote config disabled) for master
mode, and auto-connect slave mode, so that data can immediately flow between the 2
devices in cable replacement fashion.
***Roving Networks recommends downloading our free teraterm terminal
emulator, as Hyperterminal has a number of “features” in WinXP (such as auto-
baud detection which does not work) which render it effectively inoperable for a
local serial port connection. Teraterm can be downloaded at:
